Production
Sylvester Stallone originally developed an adaption of the Chuck Dixon novel Levon's Trade as a television series with Balboa Productions.[1] The project changed into a film that was up for sale at the 2023 American Film Market, where the film was first announced to have David Ayer attached to direct and Jason Statham to star.[2] In January 2024, Amazon MGM Studios acquired U.S. theatrical and select international streaming distribution rights to the film from Black Bear International, who sold the film to independent distributors elsewhere.[3] The film was put into development in part due to its potential for subsequent entries given the number of novels written by Dixon in the series.[4]
In April 2024, David Harbour, Michael Peña, Jason Flemyng, Arianna Rivas, Noemi Gonzalez, Emmett J. Scanlan, Eve Mauro, Maximilian Osinski, Kristina Poli, Andrej Kaminsky and Isla Gie joined the cast in undisclosed roles.[5]
Principal photography began in April 2024 in London.[5][6]
Release
